Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo Updates on the Bands Current Hiatus

4/19/2012

Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo released a new side-project last month
entitled, 'Between The Times and the Tides', which has been
described as 'a sparkling collection of ragged folk and
psychedelically warped rock.'

In a recent interview with Spinner the New Yorker offered his
opinion on the bands current 'much needed' hiatus:

"It's up in the air," says Ranaldo, speaking from his home in
Brooklyn. "We're taking a much-needed break and leaving it at that.
We're not saying anything final, but we're not discussing anything
for the future either. We're just letting it be."

He added: "Our lives and careers are so intertwined that, even if
nothing is happening as far as new recordings and new performances,
we'll be tied to each other. We've had an amazing 30-year run.
We'll see what the future holds."

Sonic Youth co-founder Ranaldo released his ninth solo LP 'Between
The Times And The Tides' in March.
